==It all started with...==

Hi Lists;

For anyone interested but short on bandwidth, I have the following
up-to-date distros available:

Home/Home Office:
- UBUNTU 8.10 in i386 and x64
- FEDORA 10 in x64 both LiveCD AND install DVD.

Office:
- CentOS 5.2 i386 install DVD
- Mandriva 2008 i386 install DVD

The Fedora Live CD doesn't feature OpenOffice, so it's more a test
tool/demo tool for your hardware than a concrete install solution.

Anybody interested in a particular distro may request it, expect 3
days for a CD and 9 for a DVD.

I always keep my old install/demo discs at hand, so if you need to
re-install a fresh software stack on older hardware, just ask here.
[For reference this is being written on a 8 years old P4 1.6 with
512RAM that is very slightly sluggish under Fedora9 but was excellent
with openSUSE 10.1 and Fedora7]

I am thinking of formalising an AdvocacyThingy one way or another, for
now, let's say:

-Single CD's or DVD's of any distro are free if you pick up from my
office (next to Pencil/SOS Clinic);
-I can have them delivered to your door in PP for US$ 1;
-"Test Your Hardware" service for free in my office: come with your
laptop & try any Linux flavour you'd like without touching your hard
drive. A full install may be done in less than 2 hours.

And Soon I want to:
-Put an online repository of my distros archive - I do have a lot actually.

I am thinking of calling it "The Tropical Ice Cube Club" 'cause it'll
be a refuge for all sorts of Penguins :) Doesn't sound serious, I
know.

Cheers fellow nerds'n'nixers
